PPP's Khursheed Shah arrested by NAB for making assets beyond means

ISLAMABAD – The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday took Pakistan Peoples Party's senior leader and former Opposition Leader in National Assembly Syed Khurshid Shah for making assets beyond means.

Sources in the anti-corruption watchdog said that an investigation was initiated against the PPP leader last month (August 7).

"NAB Sukkur has arrested Syed Khursheed Shah in the assets beyond means case," a brief handwritten statement issued by NAB Islamabad said.

Shah, who was taken away by nearly 20 personnel of NAB and police during a raid at his Islamabad residence, will be presented before the relevant accountability court in Sukkur for remand tomorrow, the press release added.

This is a developing story and will be updated soon.
